I’m pregnant with our 3rd kid. We will have 3 kids under three for a month or two. I just found out about 2 hours ago. I’m not looking forward to the comments we are going to get. You know the ones: “don’t you know where they come from?”, and “don’t you know what birth control is”. I’m overwhelmed right now. I’m sure ill be super excited in a couple days but the finances of it (we have to now get on my husbands insurance which is more than double what were paying right now) and the how are we even going to work this have taken over for now.
 
Congratulations!
I just have to say, I’m jealous. Yes, I know people will make comments, and it will be very tough for awhile. But I was just thinking the other day how sad I am that I never had more brothers and sisters for my first two kids, because they are so neat now that they are grown up. There should be more of them.
We did adopt two more after those were teens, and I wish we could have adopted more also. I think kids do better the more brothers and sisters they have. They seem to appreciate their cousins so much, but siblings are irreplaceable.
You have a responsible husband and you are a responsible mother. You will do fine. I raised my first 2 as a single parent (which is why there are only 2 of them), and they came out more or less okay. Finances will work out. God bless.
 
Congratulations!!!

So exciting. I had 3 kids 3 and under (still do in fact). My eldest turned 3 in April and the baby was born in June. The middle child didn’t turn 2 until December. LOL. Busy house, but a happy house. The boys are so sweet around their sister and they have learned to play really nicely together. You will see. I have been able to enjoy this “baby stage” the best. Not many photos but lots of snuggle and smile time with my baby.

Oh, and diapers work best done in an assembly line. ;)😃

Congrats again.
 
Sorry this isn’t much of a pep talk…but congrats on expecting another. My wife an I have been trying for years, we just conceived last October but miscarried by December. 😦

If it is any consolation we can’t wait to be faced with your problem if God permits it for us.🙂

You would have gotten the comments regardless of when you had #3. Ignore them.

However, the comments notwithstanding, it is normal to feel overwhelmed. It’s always a little overwhelming to have The Next One. But the grace of the Sacrament of Matrimony gives us the discernment to know and the ability to adapt to what our family needs. I have a friend who always said he could handle “X-1” kids, meaning 1 is 1 too many to be comfortable, but so is 2, and so is 3, and so is 4… So maybe God knows that we can handle one more kid by the fact that we’re getting a little too comfortable. 🙂
 
Congratulations :). God will always take care of you no matter what 🙂

Prayers are with you 🙂
 
Congratulations! You’re fortunate to be blessed with another child 🙂 I’m the eldest of 3; my parents had a rough time but finances really will work out. I’ve even seen families of 7 and 9 work these things out. They always say, “God provides.” 🙂
 
I want to congratulate you. God will provide.

I am assuming that you are in the US since you worry about the insurance. This must be challenging for you. I pray for things to work out perfectly and a very healthy little baby.

Blessings to you and your family
 
Sonsearcher, :console::hug1: I know how much it must hurt to go through that. It just seems like some women have no problem having babies, but others struggle with it. I have a cousin who would have made a wonderful mother, but was unable to have one of her own. My prayers are with you in this. I hope and pray that your prayers for a child will soon be answered.

I take it you live in a socialist utopia somewhere?

Thanks
 
woohoo!!! yeah!! what a blessing! Good for you!! You can do this!! 👍
 
Children are a blessing. The world loves to put us down for having kids - my wife and I received the ugly comments as well; we have 4 kids. Enjoy them, love them, cherish them. In the end it will be all about how well you loved them and raised them in the love of God. Houses and cars will be the last thing on our minds in our final years. Our families will be what matters. CONGRATS!!!👍
 
Congratulations! My family would be the same way. We have 2 and my mom thinks I’m nuts for not having my tubes tied with our second one. I just know if I get pregnant again I will be highly encouraged to sterilize myself or my husband, which makes it very tough I’m sure when your pregnancy isn’t exactly planned to begin with. Hang in there. You will do just fine :). Plus, everybody tells me that after 2 it’s no big deal!

In my experience it is true. 😛 I actually get more sleep now than I did with only one child. :eek:😃
 
That other guy was right, the one who said you won’t be thinking about houses and cars at the end. Did anyone ever regret having more children? My sincere congratulations – you’re going to have so much fun in a couple of years, I bet! I envy those little kids being so close together! What do the naysayers know – phooey!
